Ogden would have been a pretty tough pull given that his dad is in on Miller’s staff at UT. But Scott probably stings.

Kind of jarring when that hits, isn’t it? For me it was Dajuan Wagner. I was in college at the same time as Milt Wagner and when I was 1st told his son was a thing I may have hyperventilated. And now his freaking grandson is at Arkansas.
